RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Hunter Leemon, the Executive Director for Sportable, has been growing out his locks for months, but next week he will chop it all off for a good cause. His hair will be turned into wigs for women battling cancer.

The charitable haircut is open to the public and will take at a restaurant in Richmond. Proceeds will benefit Leemon’s organization, Sportable, which helps those with physical and visual disabilities participate in sports.

“This summer I went in to get my haircut and my young ladies at Red Organics said, ‘oh, don’t cut your hair, you’re so close to actually being able to donate your hair for the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Campaign,” Leemon explained.
